KeriCure’s Skin and Wound Care Products – Superior Care without Harsh Chemicals
KeriCure founder and CEO Dr. Kerriann Greenhalgh has developed multiple safe and effective products to address today’s parents’ (both kid and fur!) first aid needs. Based on the cutting edge polymer nanoparticle technology Dr. Greenhalgh developed in graduate school at the University of South Florida, Dr. Greenhalgh built upon her original nanoparticle drug delivery system to create a widely applicable skin and wound care platform of products for people, kids and animals.
Natural Seal for people and kids, Tough Seal for pets and small animals, and Champion Seal for equine and large animals all utilize the same hypoallergenic polyacrylate polymer to form a comfortable, elastic, invisible barrier that protects against infection. The safe and effective products deliver moisture to any skin irritation or wound to aid in creating the ideal moist wound healing environment while keeping dirt and germs out.
KeriCure’s Antimicrobial Silver Technology
Launching in 2017, KeriCure will premiere a complete line of liquid bandage products embedded with naturally antimicrobial silver nanoparticles for an all-in-one skin and wound care solution! Based on brand new, patent pending silver polymer technology developed by Dr. Greenhalgh, these new, highly effective liquid bandage products combine all of the benefits of FDA cleared nanoparticle silver with KeriCure’s advanced hydrating liquid bandage formula.
Naturally sourced nanoparticle silver is widely recognized as having many beneficial properties when it comes to skin and wound care.1 Top of the list include silver’s natural ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms including Staphylococcal aureus (Staph), E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, bacteria commonly found in skin wounds.1 Nanoparticle silver has also been shown to inhibit the growth of many infective fungi including many Candida strains, often troublesome in causing Athlete’s foot and other fungal skin infections.1,2,3 Additionally, nanoparticle silver has also been attributed with anti-inflammatory benefits when topically applied to the skin.4
The nanoparticle silver in the brand new line of KeriCure Shield products have been tested in twenty plus safety reports and test series as well as the first ever double blind, FDA cleared, human ingestion toxicity study done on any silver product.5 Additionally, over the last two decades, the nanoparticle silver in KeriCure products was studied by universities, private institutions, and labs, working to understand the many unique qualities of the silver technology, providing us with a firm understanding of the safety of the silver as well as how it interacts with the body and on microorganisms.
